Meanwhile...

Oh boy. Where to start?? In short, I realize my last post was much too long ago.

AND I am over a month past the date I was supposed to have accomplished all, if not some, of my Day Zero Project tasks.  I've looked back over the accomplished tasks and leftover tasks, and there are a few that were completed in the recent months (going to the ballet, organizing my bills, taking regular "art breaks" at work for my own sanity) that I can remove but that still leaves me with a staggering 60 tasks unaccomplished in this challenge. 

60....out of 101...
I suck.

So what now? Well I think it's only fitting I give myself a consequence so I'm going to do something with those 60 items. I am going to review them and put them on a new list. AND I'm going to donate a dollar for every unaccomplished task from this first attempt to a local charity. I've yet to decide on one but if you have any suggestions please feel free to share. I'll come up with a charity before the end of the month and write the cheque for March 1 2012. 

I suppose time flies when you're having fun definitely applies here. The last half of 2011 was a pretty busy one, though looking back now it's hard to recall all of it though I know it was spent in good company usually paired with good food and wine and fantastic stories.  

One of my treats to myself this fall was buying a 5-game ticket pack with Michelle and Ryan for the Sens. We saw our last one a couple of weeks ago. It was such an awesome treat that would come up every few weeks "what am i doing this week... OH YEAH! i have tickets to a game. Yay!" :) Definitely want to do that again next season, it was well worth it.

In December Jocelyne and I went to see The Nutcracker ballet as performed by the Pennsylvania Ballet Company. It was my first ballet and I chose it because since I was little I have been in love with the magic of this story. I also went to hear the NAC Orchestra for the first time, and though it wasn't on my list, it was a lovely evening. 

Had a second absolutely epic week in Tremblant. Getting better on the board. It definitely helps to have someone pushing you to not take the easy runs every run ; )

Back to the list....
My falling short of accomplishing the artistic goals I had set out is disappointing. They are still in the works, and I have signed up for two free Art House Co-op projects that will be completed in the next month. http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/themeal and http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/4x6exchange2.

That's the latest and once I have a new list I'll post it and take a second stab at this whole Day Zero thing.
